“I know I am going to get high quality images with this camera even in the challenging low level lighting that you experience so often underwater.”

Ultimate adventures often involve the most challenging lighting conditions. From arctic twilight to the undersea world, the ability to deal with low light in particular is the key to a great image.
A new image sensor with superb high-speed and high-sensitivity performance combined with the latest TruePic VIII image processor taken from our flagship system camera gives better image quality than before with enhanced dynamic range and improved response time.

“Whether trekking through wild forests, climbing up windswept hills or exploring arctic caves, the field sensor system in this camera is an indispensable companion in the great outdoors.”

In combination with the free OI. Track app the new TG-5 lets you link GPS, compass, manometer and temperature data to your photos and videos, and transfer it via Wi-Fi to your smartphone or tablet.

“On a normal camera, going from the freezing alpine air to the warmth of a log cabin would normally cause the lens to fog up. The TG-5 makes this a thing of the past.”

The dual-pane protective glass is just one new addition to the
other proven tough capabilities, you can keep shooting whatever nature throws at you.
Extreme shifts in temperature can cause condensation on lenses. The TG-5 prevents this with dual-pane protective glass, meaning you can keep shooting regardless.
